| 1996 | £34,500 | £72,759 | 165 |
| 1995 | £36,000 | £78,258 | 184 |
In cash terms the typical B11 3 home went from £36,000 in 1995 to £191,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 145%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2019, and today's median remains roughly 10% under it: a 2019 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the B11 3 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2002 (+27.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−8.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +2.5% | +0.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.7% | −1.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.9% | +1.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −0.3% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Sales activity in B11 3
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 44 sales completed in B11 3. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 297 sales a year before the financial crisis and 91 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
What homes rent for around B11 3
B11 3 falls under Birmingham, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,088 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £821 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,563 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Birmingham
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £191,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,088 a month (£13,056 a year) works out at a 6.8% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.
What kind of market B11 3 is
This is a thin market: 44 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict.

Is B11 3 (Sparkhill) a good place to buy a house?

Moving up a bedroom in B: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the B area, straight from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £306,000 | £425,000 (+39%) | £665,000 (+56%) | £950,000 (+43%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
